F.A.Qs
Why is my Xbox card not working?
Your Xbox card may not be working because it hasn’t been activated by the retailer. To resolve this issue, you should contact the store where you purchased the card and request them to activate it. It’s important to note that all codes must be activated at the point of sale in order to be used on Xbox. If the code still doesn’t work after 24 hours of purchase, you should return the card to the retailer, along with your proof of purchase, and ask them to activate it for you.
Why is my Xbox not accepting my card?
Your Xbox may not be accepting your card because the payment method you’re using may not be activated, have available funds, or it may be expired or no longer valid. Contact your credit card company or bank to verify and update your payment method if necessary.
